Coach Rondo ain't playin
投稿者: Emeka Q Rossi: Rajon Rondo
Rajon Rondo runs a tight ship with his squad. Phones get taken, social media is off limits, and bedtime is non-negotiable. He calls it a business trip and says they watch more film than probably any NBA team combined #RajonRondo

And then when my team was with me that particular weekend, I shut social media down because I think that's affecting these kids to win. They don't give a damn if you win or lose. Like as soon as you get out of the game, they're on the ground. Who tagged me? Who posted me with what? It's like that's fucking our young kids heads up. And that's not what we allow in our program for the most part. I like that. Jamal Crawford made a post a few weeks ago about parent and outside noise. And obviously we came up in a different time. You're a little bit younger than us, but in the same kind of age group and wave. You obviously touched on how successful has it been on understanding what the big picture in. but also enjoying the ride, allowing the kids to enjoy the ride. Yeah, for me, that's what it's about. Like I said, I'm pretty strict on the road. Obviously, a lot of kids may, you know, a lot of parents may send their kids with just me and the coaches. So, obviously, we're their extended dads on the road. And for me, it's a great experience because I teach them discipline. We go to bed a certain time. I take the phones. Like I said, I already say we don't have social media. And it's a business trip. Kind of how we approach it in our game, I try to teach them the same level. How are we doing at NBA? It's like I said, we come here, we ain't getting in swimming pools. We ain't doing this in the third. We're going to probably go to movies and sit and relax if we get a good time. Or other than that, we're there for business. We watch film more than any probably NBA team combined. I mean, we act each game because at that age, again, you're learning the game so much. And for me, instead of arguing with my kids back and forth, I just pop the tape in. And then there's nothing to argue about. I have the whole team vote. Was this a travel? Was this a foul? And they get to coach themselves. And not only, you know, just hearing me thinking I'm just crazy and talking on the sideline all the time. It's like, here's the proof. And then when they know where they get to film, it changes their mindset within the game. They know, okay, shit, I'm going to have to get off the screen now because last time in film, we had talked about this. So it's easy for me to teach the kids, and I don't have to go back and forth with them a lot because right after the game, we jump right in the van and we watch it.
